'''Digital Library of India''' has many interesting books whose titles you can see if you search using words such as Bengal, Calcutta , Madras and Bombaywhich are unavailable online elsewhere. ===Current/Old website===The book page images are in the TIFF format. If you can't read the pages you will need to download a plug-in to read the TIFF format ([http://www.alternatiff.com/install-ie Alternatiff] for Windows users and [http://fredrik.hubbe.net/plugger.html Plugger] for Linux users) whose details you will also find within the website. Books available include volumes of the ''Calcutta Review'' published later than those available on Google Books, books in the Indian Records Series, Yearbooks etc
This site is not very user friendly and is sometimes unavailable. The quality of the scanned print varies from excellent to poor. Individual books do not have their own URL and it will be necessary to search for the book you require. The great advantage of the site however, is that you can find books which are not available elsewhere.

===New website===
A new website has been under development from the latter part of 2015, where all the digital book files are Adobe pdfs. It appears most of the books available using the TIFF format are also now available as pdfs, but not all (at January 2016). It appears that any new additions to the DLI are only available as pdfs. Please be aware the cataloguing may be erratic. The title may have spelling errors, or part of the title may be omitted. The author, or the date of publication may be omitted. There is an option to read online which says says "View book using Flexpaper" However, when using this option, only the first 10 pages are available which may be either very slow to download, or may not download at all.
